Model Lee Hyun-yi faced challenges while trying to emulate the life of baseball player Shohei Ohtani. Her husband, Hong Sung-ki, advised her on the stress that comes from plans not going as expected.

On the 22nd, the YouTube channel 'Working Mom Lee Hyun-yi' posted a video titled 'How to Live a Miraculous Life in 2025 (Hong Papa, Mandal-Art)'.

Lee Hyun-yi confessed that she had never set a New Year's plan before. She admitted, "I've never made a plan in my life, so it's overwhelming," and invited a guest known for being organized. YouTuber Hong Papa (Hong Sung-ki) appeared, who is Lee Hyun-yi's husband and works as a semiconductor development engineer at a major company. The couple married in 2012 and have two sons. Hong Sung-ki also runs the YouTube channel 'Hong Papa TV'.

Hong Sung-ki expressed concern that sudden planning might bring chaos to Lee Hyun-yi's life. He stated, "Plans often don't go as planned, which can be quite stressful," and advised her to know how to overcome such stress.

Lee Hyun-yi decided to try the 'Mandal-Art' planning method, made famous by Shohei Ohtani. This method involves setting one core goal, eight detailed goals, and listing 81 tasks to achieve them.

While filling out the plan, Lee Hyun-yi's lack of planning became evident. When her husband suggested setting a plan for the year, she jokingly asked if she could plan until her death. After much thought, she decided to make her YouTube channel 'Working Mom Lee Hyun-yi' her core goal for the year.

Completing the rest of the plan wasn't easy. Hong Sung-ki asked if she had premeditated her goals, to which Lee Hyun-yi honestly replied, "I'm doing this for the first time now." Hong Sung-ki sighed, wondering if they could finish it today.

With her husband's help, Lee Hyun-yi completed the Mandal-Art by writing detailed plans for health, family, career, content, finances, and recognition. She showed the completed Mandal-Art and asked for support, saying, "Please watch as I achieve each goal."
